PUBLIC SAFETY: THREE-POINT PLAN FOR WISCONSIN
 

1. Hold Criminals Accountable and Support Law Enforcement

• Support consistent enforcement of state criminal laws and stronger penalties for repeat and violent offenders.

• Strengthen coordination among local police, prosecutors and state law enforcement.

• Wisconsin Department of Justice criminal justice grants can support effective local public safety initiatives with measurable results and accountability.
   

2. Protect Children and Prevent Crime

• Strengthen Wisconsin’s Child Advocacy Center network, including the CARE Center serving Waukesha County, to improve child abuse investigations.

• Support Wisconsin Department of Justice school safety grants and improve coordination between schools, police and emergency responders.

• Expand evidence-based youth prevention and early-intervention programs that help at-risk youth avoid crime and keep neighborhoods safe.
   

3. Give First Responders Proper Resources

• Help eligible providers access EMS Funding Assistance Program to support essential emergency medical services. 

• Support state and federal grants for fire equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training and recruitment of firefighters and EMTs. 

• Review staffing, response times and equipment needs with local police, fire and EMS departments, while prioritizing cost-effective investments and regional cooperation.
   

My commitment: Protect children, enforce the law, support those who protect us, and ensure public safety funding delivers measurable results for Wisconsin taxpayers.
